The Fundraising Team
Barbara Kasumu - Interim CEO (Chief Executive Officer)
The Charity has great potential to make an extraordinary difference to the staff, patients, and their families across North East London. I look forward to leading the organisation through this critical period of transition and growth, so we can help to fund lasting improvements in care and outcomes that patients are proud of.
Debbie Kirby - Fundraising Business Support Manager
I love the variety of this role; it's a little bit of fundraising, event co-ordination, personal assistance, administration and support management. The team are a fantastic bunch of motivated, dedicated and talented individuals and it's a privilege to be able to work with them. In my role, I am able to make a meaningful difference in the lives of our community, which is truly humbling.
Kyra Swaby - Marketing and Communications Manager
Hi, I'm Kyra! Promoting and showcasing all the fabulous things we do as a charity is one of my favourite things about working here. It's amazing to be part of a great team and to help and support people in the community who need it the most.
Torren Mahmut - Community Fundraiser
I have been the Charity’s Community Fundraiser for several years and I have the best job on the team! I’m responsible for going out in the community, meeting people and showing everyone what an amazing Charity we are. It’s a privilege to go out into the community and tell people about our incredible Charity that does so much for the community. I am always walking around with a smile on my face, so if you do spot me, don’t hesitate to say hello!
Michelle Fox - Fundraising Office Co-ordinator
Prior to joining the charity, I worked at NELFT in their Training and Development team. Moving across NHS trusts to join the charity was the best decision I ever made. The best thing about working in the charity is that no two days are the same. What I look forward to most is Christmas time, I can’t wait to help the charity spread some Christmas cheer to all the patients.
